Pinning through the points while holding the layers together to make sure they match helps. I sometimes machine baste first to see if they line up, then sew. It's much easier to take out basting if they don't and you have to re-do.

I have not posted a picture yet either. I hope to soon. I think the board members will be gentle with us when we finally post.

The quilts and projects I see here are amazing. I just gave up the idea but still like to see all the beautiful things he group makes. I'd embarrass myself if I even attempted to quilt, if even a wallhanging.
